Is it YOUR time?

Yesterday I had the great opportunity to do some training for one of my
awesome clients in Orlando. I kicked off the day with the entire company
of team members. Many times I just work with the front line, but this
was one of the events where I had everyone from apprentices to accounting.
What I saw and how the team responded got me thinking about the topic
of this week’s blog.

If we were face to face and I asked you this question you would probably
have an array of answers for me depending on what type of “your
time” we were talking about. Your time to implement whatever it
is you need to do is what I want the framework of your mindset to be today.

It could have to do with getting your pricing right, changing your pay
structure, training your team effectively on a weekly basis, or implementing
our effective marketing, leadership, and sales processes. It could have
to do with team member accountability (beginning with yourself), finally
posting your big board with team member goals, standardizing inventory,
or starting your much needed ride along program. I could go on and on
about what your time could be about but you know in your own heart what
you need to do that you are not taking action on.

I have dedicated my life to helping people achieve higher levels and accomplish
results they didn’t even know were possible for them. I’m
proud to say that I make my clients millions and millions of dollars per
year. I don’t say this to impress you, I say this to impress upon
you that you have more inside you than you’re letting out right
now. You have potential that is being squashed by the way you think about
things and take specific action.

Now is your time my friend.

The client that hosted my event yesterday allowed another one of our clients
and his wife to come to the training. My clients are friends and they
spend a lot of time together when not working in their respective businesses.
The client that hosted my event had been working on our other client,
his buddy, for a period of time about charging a dispatch fee. In his
current model he shows up for free. We have had the conversation several
times justifying why he should implement a dispatch fee but it had never stuck.

Sometimes you have to be in the right place at the right time with the
right mindset in order to position yourself effectively to implement change.
As I write to you this week I’m pretty emotional about this topic
due to the text I received last night after my training. My hosting client
sent me a text that his buddy, one of our Essential Coaching Club members,
went back to his shop yesterday and implemented a dispatch fee process.

With his current service call volume this means an additional $258,000
in annual revenue (and primarily profits) that began yesterday after my
event. I’m not saying that I said something so magical from the
stage that caused him to take action on something that had been on his
radar and mind for so long. I am saying that he realized that NOW is his
time to take action on something that has a huge return on investment for him.

So what about you? When is it your time to take action on that certain
something that needs attention? You know what it is. Perhaps it’s
not going to increase sales a quarter of a million dollars…or perhaps
it could. Maybe it’s not even related to work and has to do with
the relationship with your spouse or children. It could be something to
do with working out or how you eat. No matter what it is for you, it’s
time to make a change.

Now is your time my friend. Take that action today.

Have a better than fantastic day!
